No Joke, millions of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!

In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
